Friday morning 13th of March [1863]
Yesterday and the day before were two of the most beautiful days I ever saw, clear but cold the air was keen and bracing, most too[?] windy__ but without the wind 'twould not have been a March day.
A few days ago the news of Van dorn's [sic] capture was received here; At Spring Hill, I believe it was, a little place about 12 miles from Franklin Van Dorn captured four or five regiments of Yankees __ and it was true too for his paroled prisoners passed here day before yesterday [referring to Battle of Thompson's Station]. Those rebels are terrible creatures __ at least of the Feds think so! I think Tuesday was the last time I scribbled in this book, the same day the Yanks brought in some nine or ten prisoners, among them was Capt. Hick Johnson, Mr. Mockerby, Dock...39
McCanley all of the 14th Tennessee regiment __ and a Mr. Headley, of the 1st Ky. cavalry. Woodwards old regiment, and several others whose names I have not heard__ all were let off on street parole the day after they were taken, except Mockerby and Hedley [sic]__ all had to give $5,000 bond and as those two had no one to go their security they did not get off off; last night they were all sent to Nashville. Yesterday Ma Mary Shackelford, and myself went to Coln. Brices and got a pass to go to see those two who were in confinement. Mr. Mockerby told us a good deal about bro. he was well when he saw him which was the last of January; he is the latest one we have seen from the regt.
It made me so mad to such a contemptable [sic] puppy, as ?that little insolent upstart Lieutenant something __McDonel I believe
